"May your principal motive in Holy Communion be to give yourself to Jesus, to give Him the freedom to do in you everything that will be according to His good pleasure, without your considering yourself or your interests about your own perfection. In your past life, you lived so much for yourself and you received Communion so often for yourself; henceforth live and receive Communion only for Jesus, for His joy, for His designs, and for His intentions.
Receive Communion for the sake of adhering to His intention and the desire He has to see you be all His, to see the reign of His love in you, to unite you to Himself and to cause you to be completely one with Him. In Communion your soul is fed with God Himself, to show you that your soul must no longer subsist on earthly things - that, since it is fed with heavenly food, it is necessary that it live with a heavenly life, without lowering itself to creatures or the senses any longer. You must live as Jesus Christ lived for His Father; and Jesus's intention is that you live from Him and for Him."
(From The Breviary of Fire - Letters by Mother Mectilde of the Blessed Sacrament)
